Carrot and Mint Soup Recipe

I was not a fan of mint ice cream or mint chocolate or anything minty except chewing gum, but I now definitely am of this Carrot and Mint Soup.

This carrot & mint soup is adapted from Saransh Goila’s recipe on his Facebook page.This soup recipe is a keeper. Read the recipe, see the pictures, and tell me, isn't it perfect for winters!?

Carrot and Mint Soup Recipe

Carrot and Mint Soup Recipe

serves 4-6What you'll need:1 Tbsp olive oil and/or 1 Tbsp butter

2 onions, chopped

6-7 garlic cloves, peeled & chopped

2 bay leaves

1” stick cinnamon

4 whole cloves

30 gm (~ 1 oz) celery

500gm (~ 1.1lb) carrots, peeled & roughly diced

100 gm (~ ½ cup) tomatoes, roughly chopped

5 twigs of mint, rinsed & dried

5-6 cups vegetable stock/water

2 tsp honey (optional)

1 Tbsp crème fraîche or heavy cream (optional)

Salt & pepper powder, to taste

Let’s Begin!

1. Heat olive oil & butter in a large saucepan & sauté the next 6 ingredients over medium heat until soft & translucent.

2. Add the carrots, tomatoes & mint, sauté, and pour stock to just cover the vegetables. Add salt and pepper. [Chef’s note: reserve the remaining stock, if any, to adjust the consistency at the end – its better that way than ending up with a soup that's too thin.]

3. Bring to a boil, and let simmer, covered, over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until the carrots are soft. Purée the soup in a blender (or food processor) until desired smoothness.

4. Stir in the honey, if using, and the crème fraîche. Taste & adjust the salt & pepper at this point, and serve hot. Garnish the carrot and mint soup with a mint leaf & some cream. I also added in some carrot strips cut very thin & long, like noodles.

I did not go to the top of the Ranthambore fort but I really enjoyed the safari.

I am so happy to know that you tried my aloo dum recipe and enjoyed it. The potatoes were naturally slightly yellow, not because of baking and I did not use any haldi in the recipe. Thanks for trying out my recipe, definitely makes my day :-)
